Siding

Siding and window installation

Siding and Windows have a direct impact on both curb appeal and value. If siding and/or windows are in poor condition they will devalue your home. But more than this, siding and windows protect your home from damage that can lead to your home being declared unsafe to live in.

Replacing siding and windows can enhance the appearance and value of your home.

Do you have a home that has no curb appeal? Does your home look old and dumpy? Replace the siding and/or windows. In days, a home no one would want to buy can become a home that everyone finds attractive.

With new siding and/or windows, you can completely transform the look of your home. You can take your home from one era to a completely different one. Take your home backwards so it looks retro Victorian or Craftsman. Or take it forward so it looks sleek and modern.

If you are selling your home, you may find yourself having to reduce the sales price of your home if it has aluminum or single pane windows. Replacing these windows with vinyl will enhance the appearance of your home, while helping retain its value. National averages suggest that you will see at least 80% of your investment recouped the same year. And as energy costs keep rising, you can expect to see 100% of your investment back if you hold the property for a few years.

Everyone knows that replacing single pane windows with double or triple pane vinyl windows reduces heat loss and heat gain, lowering heating and cooling costs. But did you know that energy efficient siding is available that can cut your energy costs as well? When you install insulated vinyl siding, you can add 20% more insulating power to your home.

The greatest energy savings come from replacing aluminum windows with vinyl. Aluminum draws cold into the home and condensation often occurs. This can lead to mold and rot around the window.

When a window or the siding on your house leaks it can cause expensive damage to your home.

Dry rot of structural timbers and sheathing. Damaged structures must be replaced. This may include studs, sill plates, sheathing, damaged siding and dry wall.

Growth of toxic black mold. Not only do damaged structures need to be replaced, but the mold spores must be eliminated. This means that all studs, sill plates, sheathing, damaged siding, insulation and dry wall must be replaced as well.

Structural damage to foundation. A long-standing leak can 1) erode minerals from concrete footers weakening the footer so it cracks, and 2) cause expansion of clay soils which puts pressure on the foundation where the leak is occurring.

If any one of these conditions develops, you are facing major expenses. Black mold growth is the number one reason that houses are condemned in the U.S. today. This is because black mold is extremely toxic and has been linked to asthma, bronchitis, respiratory disease, liver issues and more.
